I know many are complaining that currently 28 of the states (see the chart here) have limited or no access to abortion in their state, but I thank God I live in a state where the leaders and majority of the people want a very tight reign on abortion. In fact, Alabama was ready and didn't have to wait one day to have their laws to go into effect for almost no abortions in this state.
Look at the state of Florida. In 60 years, they have gone from a population of 5 million to 22 million (2020 census). That is shocking. And look at where the state of Florida is today politically. Governor Ron DeSantis has been caring and leading that state so strongly to the conservative right that many thought he would be the next Republican nominee for President. While I would agree he would make a good president, I am glad he is staying in the state of Florida to continue to lay out a plan and a pattern for other states to follow who wish to become more conservative.
As President, I'm afraid Governor DeSantis would have been handcuffed from implementing many of the programs and plans he had in Florida. Every football coach will tell you he may have some great plans, but great players also make him better. Every pastor will tell you, he may have a vision but great leaders around him and a great church to follow will always make him look better.
From library book selections, to state income tax, to school choice, and to abortion, Florida is one of the leaders. DeSantis has recently began pushing for young people under the age of 16 not be allowed on any social media platforms. And people are flocking there because they want to live with other conservative people.
So let's continue to empower the states. If you don't like to live in a state that is conservative, then the borders are open and you are free to move to a state like California that might suit your taste better.
